VIDEO: As of Saturday, March 31, the City of La Crosse Fire Department will provide emergency services for the Town of Medary. More than 1,500 people call the Town of Medary home. In recent years, those people have relied on the Onalaska Fire Department to respond to calls. The services were made available through a contract arrangement between the City of Onalaska and the Town of Medary. The contract expired, and the Medary Town Board asked the La Crosse Fire Department if they would be interested in providing emergency services. La Crosse Fire Chief Ken Gilliam agreed to a new contract.
